AN: a but of a long one and a bit of a filler but BOY do I have PLANNNNS (please read in falsetto)
WOW so here s my bad story telling. I decided to re read the story cause I don t remember whats happened, lol, and I realise I just repeated two events, Tris getting pushed by Eric in the hallway and going to the sick bay, wow nice work points for original content!
Also given that I've forgotten what has happened I thought a few of you might need a refresher so.
Tris sneaky snake out of bedroom, meet boy amusement park Woo drama. Then she sneaky snake's to Underpass teen party and sicks it to cocky gross Eric (but kindaa hot not gonna lie). She turns down maths teams. Then Beatrice gets shoved by Eric and goes to sick bay he also steals her cake at one point (what a crime). meets lovley nice uriah. She gets a jobe and find de pit the MIDDLE of De night. She tries to get into club dantless meets the gang goes zip lining ect (which takes up like 5 chapter lol). Learns about new kid, makes up uriah, gets stalked and FINally bimps into Eric AGAIN.
woo tada when you put it out like that not much has happened. oh and somewhere in there she gets lost and finds Amity.
I wondered what death is like, is there an afterlife? As I open my eyes to a blinding white with a searing head ache, I wonder if I am dead. Then my eyes adjust to the light, I sit up in the uncomfortable bed and look around the room. I'm just in the school sick bay. I plonk back down into the bed, uhh why was I being so existential.
I slowly sit back up, wait why am I here? I've only been to sick bay once before. During a standard mid semester test I felt ill. Kind of a boring story, no post-apocalyptic wars or nothing. After like 15 minutes of sitting down they sent me home.
There are two beds but I'm the only one here. I'm glad, I don't think I can put up with some one and this ragging head ache. I reach out a hand to the back of my head, It's tender to touch. I wince at the feeling, did I hit it on something? So many unanswered questions, why can't I remember?
To my left, on a side table is a glass of water. I nearly choke from chugging the drink down, it does little to clear my head. I lay back down slowly. I reach down to the stranger's phone in my pocket, it's gone. I did I drop it? I look down on the floor but can't see it. I feel a strange swirl of anxiety, I hope Eric didn't get his hands on it. This thought confuses me how could Eric get it? When was the last time I came in contact with him? As if on cue I remember.
Wow, nice work Tris you've really done it now! Kneeing the school tough guy in the balls. I feel dread weight down on my chest, to my surprise this feeling is quickly replaced with calm. I realise I don't care anymore. I feel free, it's nice to let things go, and knee people who deserve it. Whatever Eric is going to do to me, whatever my parents say, I don't care. I wouldn't take it back for the world better yet I'd do it again, in a heartbeat. That was the second time he's pushed me down in the hallway. The thought of his face makes my blood boil, I want, no I need to get back at him.
But right now revenge can wait, I really just want to know how I got here.
"Beatrice, good your awake" the nurse said as she entered the room.
"It's just Tris" I reply, somehow, I feel this needs to be known, to rebrand myself.
"Well Tris," she said picking up a clip board and moving over to my bed "You had us worried there for a second, we almost had to call an ambulance" Her smile is soft, she has a natural calming aura about her. "It was a pretty hard fall, I'm surprised your small stature could generate enough force on the way down" she says almost disbelievingly.
"Fall?" I question.
"The boy who brought you in said you fell in the hallway, blacked out" she said referring to the clipboard. Well it's not entirely untrue. "I would expect some nasty bruising to show up in the next couple of days. I'm just going to check for a concussion, but you'll most likely just have to take it slow for the next couple of days."
This is a real inconvenience but also, what guy found me? I blacked out did he carry me? I think logically, I remember remembering a voice that yelled out but I don't remember whose it was. Maybe Uriah or Will found me.
"The school days almost over, we've already excused you from class and will contact you parents later. Do you need me to call them to take you home?" The nurse askes, I am so caught up I almost forgot she was in here.
"Uh, oh, no I'll just walk" I swing my feet off the bed and test out my fresh legs. The pressure through my legs has a weird searing sensation. I hop onto my feet I can feel an ache on my back side, where I must have fell. I want to take up the offer to get my parents to give me a lift but I need to feel this pain.
Each step is an ache, the nurse let me go home earlier. I find her time management skills questionable though, she said school was almost over but it still has over an hour to go. But this walk is killing me. Since I have time, I bypass my house and head straight for the pit. I have a shift after school and might as well be early.
I could take the train, it would be a lot quicker, but the thought of running and jumping in my current condition isn't ideal.
"You look like shit" Tori greats me when I enter the store.
"Nice to see you too" I laugh in response.
"What happened? And why are you so early?" she asks sincerely before whispering "I'm not paying you overtime" I can't help but laugh, which in turn makes me wince.
"I got into a run in with Eric at school, get sent to the sick bay and sent home early" I say, Tori's eyes widen.
"Are you ok?" She asks concerned.
"I'm fine" I say, picking up my bag and moving to he change rooms towards the back of the store "I'm just going to change".
Once full enclosed by the change room, I let out a sigh I had been holding in. My body was burning and my head ache was throbbing. I slowly sit down on the change rooms chair, which is also painful because of my tender flesh.
Once I've regained enough energy, I slowly take off my plain grey shirt and pants. I stare at my body in the full-length mirror. I gasp at the sight; a purple bruise starts from my left thigh and have grown up until my lower back. Similar bruises are on my back and left shoulder.
I was mid admiring my bruises when the change room curtain was pushed fully back. My immediate reaction was to grab something to cover my body.
"Even for the pit this is pretty bad" Tori said, gesturing to my body. "You're not going to want to put on tight clothing" Tori says pulling a black sundress from behind her back.
In all my shame and embarrassment, I can't help but wonder. "How did you know?" I ask.
"Tris, I work at the pit I can Identify if someone's gait means they're injured" she holds the dress out further "put it on it's nice".
I take the dress and get changed, she's right it is nice. Its midlength and makes my body look shapely and most importantly it doesn't put pressure on my bruises. I pull my six charms bracelet out of my bag to finish the outfit.
"Yes I agree" comments Tori when I finish changing. "But first what happened".
I tell her everything, she reacts nicely when I tell her where I kneed him, and gives me a proud smirk. Towards the end of my story my head gets foggy and I have to hold onto the counter for a second to let it pass.
"I can't believe they just let you go in this condition. Come on we're going down to the infirmary."
"No Tori, I really don't need it" While saying this I'm not entirely sure it's true "it will eventually pass" Judging by the look on Tori's face I don't think I'm convincing her.
"One thing you'll learn at the pit is we look out for ourselves, we're daring but not stupid. We're going no question asked"
